I’m designing a modular rack shelf mounted 3D printed server case. I hope to finish it by moving my backup server to the new case.

Thanks. That’s helpful. I decided to get an R720 I found on Ebay for $60. I’m not sure if it was a good choice but I’m excited to try it out!

Can you please explain?

Used 2nd hand sounds great, but the price range online is huge. Which units would you recommend and about how much should I expect to pay for them?

What are your thoughts on the U6+ vs U7 Pro? I’m not in an apartment so I probably don’t need 6 GHz? The U7 pro seems more modern and future proof, though but I do like the OpenWrt compatibility in case I don’t like stock firmware.

What do you think about the U7 Pro?

Which ones do you have? Which ones would you get if you were buying now?

This sounds great! I’d love to see your config. I’m not using home manager, but have 1 non root user for all podman containers. 1 user per service seems like a great setup.

What is the Wi-Fi card for? What software are you using?

To clarify for others, that’s just for motor and AC loads. Rated capacity for resistive loads is 1800 W (15 A). Aside from a portable induction stovetop and possibly portable AC units, this is likely fine for most things people will connect to it. Its probably not a good fit for OP though.
